IP address configuration
The devices implement separate data and control planes. This architecture affects how you assign IP
addresses. Table 7 outlines the interfaces to which you can assign IP addresses.
In this table, "in band" refers to an interface over which user packets are routed, while "out of band"
refers to an interface over which control packets related to system management are forwarded.
